Movie Chat Series (on Zoom)

Do you like to chat about movies? Participants view each film on their own and then join a group discussion and critique via Zoom. Movies are selected through discussion and a decision of Chat participants. Join the Movie Chat and bring your recommendations! This week’s movies will be:

Miracle Worker - rated 8.1/10 (1962) The story of Anne Sullivan's struggle to teach the blind and deaf Helen Keller how to communicate.

  • Director: Arthur Penn

  • Stars: Anne Bancroft, Patty Duke and Victory Jory

The Great McGinty - rated 7.3/10 (1940) Told in flashback, Dan McGinty has great aptitude and success in his chosen field of crooked politics. When chosen to be the new, nominally "reform" mayor he endangers it all in one crazy moment of honesty.

  • Director: Preston Sturges

  • Stars: Brian Donlevy, Muriel Angelus and Akim Tamiroff

Copies of these movies are usually available on DVD at the Edgewater Branch library for checkout with your library card or you can watch them online through a streaming service of your choice.

Registration is required. You will receive an email with the link to join the online Zoom discussion group.

This program is offered in partnership with the Edgewater Branch Library.
